Operating Instructions Before fi rst use, remove the protective fi lm from the protective glass panel. Leaving the fi lm on reduces the transparency and aff ects the operation of the welding protection fi lter. To remove the protective fi lm it may be necessary to disassemble the fi lter and/or the protective glass panels described further in the manual. Ensure that the fi lter sensors are not dusty. If contamination is found, the fi lter must be removed as described under “Welding fi lter replacement” section in the manual and then cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use solvents to clean the fi lter. Do not immerse the welding fi lter in water. Install the fi lter in the welding shield. Check the condition of the protective glass before each use. If scratches, cracks, clouding or other damage to the protective glass panels are found, they must be replaced. Replace worn and damaged components with original parts only. Do not modify the helmet yourself. It is forbidden to use the shield if any component shows signs of damage, is worn out or needs to be replaced. A cover that has suff ered a mechanical impact must not be reused. It should be replaced with a new one free of defects. Adjustment of the helmet support system Put the helmet on your head, adjust the position of the upper headband strap, if necessary, to make sure the helmet is at the right height. By turning the knob on the occipital strap, adjust the length of the strap so that it does not press the head while working and at the same time the helmet does not move during head movements (II). Use the side knobs to adjust the force needed to lower and lift the helmet (II). By pressing the clip at the attachment of the straps inside the visor, it is possible to adjust the distance of the visor from the face (III). When pressure is released, the helmet should lock into one of several positions (III). Make sure that both sides are set in the same position. On the inside of the helmet at the left and right knobs, there is an adjustment of the helmet angle at maximum lowering and raising. Raise the upper adjustment wing (IV), move it relative to the lower one, then lower and lock it in the desired position. Operation of the automatic welding fi lter ATTENTION! Before starting work, ensure that the fi lter is set to the correct mode for the type of work to be carried out. It is forbid- den to work with a non-functioning welding protection fi lter, as it can lead to irrecoverable damage to the eyesight. Control panel There are buttons on the control panel to control the fi lter (I). The buttons marked with two colours are dual-function. A short press will activate one function, while pressing and holding the button for approx. 1 second will activate the second function. Button markings and messages on the display are in English. Parameter settings are made using the increase or decrease setting button. Below is a description of the buttons and functions of the welding fi lter: a.MODE HOLD:ON/OFF operating mode button – pressing and holding the button for approx. 1 second activates the fi lter. A short press of the button selects the operating mode indicated on the display: “WELD” – this mode allows setting the dark state in the range between 9 and 13. “CUT” – this mode allows setting the dark state in the range between 5 and 8. “GRIND” – in this mode11 ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS

the auto-dimming function is disabled and the fi lter will remain in bright state regardless of external conditions. The selection of bright mode is also indicated by a light, labelled “GRIND” on the fi lter control panel. When the bright mode is selected, the indicator light will fi rst illuminate with a continuous light and then illuminate intermittently. b.FUNC. HOLD:TRS function selector button– a short press of the button allows the fi lter function to be manually set in the dark state. The value to be set will start fl ashing on the display. The function labelled “SENSI” allows to adjust the sensitivity, i.e. the threshold at which the fi lter is triggered in the dark state. Using the increase or decrease setting button, it is possible to set the sensitivity in the range 0-9. Setting “0” – indicates the lowest sensitivity, the fi lter will only react to a greater change in the intensity of light falling on the sensors. Setting “9” – indicates the highest sensitivity, the fi lter will react to a slighter change in the intensity of light falling on the sensors. Setting “8” setting is rec- ommended for most welding work, particularly when welding at low amperage. The set value is confi rmed by pressing the function button again or the value will be confi rmed automatically after approx. 6 seconds of inactivity. The function labelled “SHADE” allows selecting the degree of fi lter darkening. Depending on the selected shading mode, it is possible to select the degree of shading in the range between 5 and 8 in the operating mode marked “CUT” on the display or in the range between 9 and 13 in the mode marked “WELD” on the display using the increase or decrease button. Thanks to the sensors, the fi lter is automatically darkened to the set level when bright light from the welding process is detected. When choosing the dark state you can refer to the table in the manual showing the recommended protection levels for arc welding. The set value is confi rmed by shortly pressing the function selection button or the value will be confi rmed automatically after approx. 6 seconds of inactivity. The function labelled “DELAY” allows to change the delay time of the fi lter, i.e. the time it takes for the fi lter to react to a change in light intensity. Using the increase or decrease buttons, it is possible to set a switch-off time between 0 and 9 hours. Setting “0” indicates the smallest fi lter darkening delay suitable during tack welding. Setting “1” and “2” will be suitable for spot welding. A setting of “9” indicates the greatest fi lter darkening delay, suitable for most applications and particularly when welding at high amperage and longer intervals between welds. The set value is confi rmed by shortly pressing the function selection button or the value will be confi rmed automatically after approx. 6 seconds of inactivity. Pressing and holding the button for approx. 1 second activates the gradient function, which allows a smooth transition from dark to bright state. This function will not activate if bright mode has been selected. Selection of the function will be confi rmed by the “TRS” symbol appearing on the display. The selection of this function is not recommended for tack or spot welding. c. setting increase button, d. setting decrease button – Pressing the setting increase and decrease buttons simultaneously allows the fi lter shading to be locked at the selected level, regardless of the currently selected operating mode. Using the increase or decrease setting button, it is possible to select the degree of darkening between 5 and 13. The darkening of the fi lter is constant, independent of the change in incident light on the sensors. The fi lter darkening lock at the selected level can be deactivated by pressing the increase and decrease setting buttons simultaneously. e. display j. indicator light labelled “GRIND” – the selection of bright mode is signalled by a red light marked “GRIND” on the control panel. When the bright mode is selected, the indicator light will fi rst illuminate with a continuous light and then illuminate intermittently. k. battery indicator – the welding fi lter has a charge indicator for the power supply batteries. If the battery symbol on the display is full, the battery is fully charged. Gradual discharging of the battery is indicated by the reduction of the number of icons in the battery symbol. If the battery symbol is empty, the battery must be replaced with a new one. Replacement of the power supply battery is described later in this manual. Replacing the battery To change the battery, the welding fi lter must be removed as described under “Removing the welding fi lter” section of the manual. The welding fi lter requires one CR 2032 battery to operate correctly. The battery compartment is located in the fi lter housing. Open the compartment cover and replace the batteries (V). Place the batteries in the battery compartment so that the positive terminal is on top. Snap the battery cover back in place. Run the fi lter and check the condition of the new battery. Dispose of the used battery in accordance with regional regulations governing the disposal of such materials. Replacing the protective glass panels Check the condition of the protective glass before each use. If scratches, cracks, clouding or other damage to the protective glass panels are found, they must be replaced. The front protective glass panel is mounted directly in the visor. To replace the front glass, press the glass catch (VI) and then remove the glass from the visor catches (VI). Place the new glass in the catches (VII) so that it fi ts tightly against the visor and then press down until the catch engages (VII). The front protective glass is available separately as YATO YT-73937. The rear protective glass is mounted in the fi lter housing. To remove the protective glass of the fi lter, lift the glass near the notch (VIII) and then slide it out of the fi lter catches. Bend the new glass slightly and then slide the side edges under the catches in the fi lter housing (IX). Do not bend the protective glass too strongly to avoid damaging it. Caution! It is forbidden to use the helmet without the protective glass panels.12

ORIGINAL INSTRUCTIONS Removing the welding fi lter Remove the screw securing the welding fi lter frame (IX). Lift the lower part of the fi lter frame, then pull the upper catches of the fi lter frame out of the welding helmet. Carefully slide the welding fi lter out of the fi lter frame (X). Reassemble the fi lter in the reverse order of removal. Ensure that the fi lter is correctly installed in the welding helmet and does not change its position during work. Working with the welding helmet The fi lter installed in the helmet shell will work automatically if it is illuminated by the electric arc generated during welding. The response time is 1/25,000 seconds. Before welding, make sure that the welding fi lter is set to the dark state appropriate for the type of welding to be performed. If during operation you notice that the fi lter is not automatically darkening, stop working imme- diately and adjust the fi lter. If, despite adjustment, the fi lter does not function properly, contact an authorised service centre of the importer. It is forbidden to work with a non-functioning welding protection fi lter, as it can lead to irrecoverable damage to the eyesight. Temperature range of the working environment is from -5

C to +55°C The fi lter is not designed to protect the eyesight during laser welding. Operating instructions Filter sensors should be kept clean and not obscured. In the automatic welding protection fi lter with manual adjustment, the max- imum and minimum degree of protection is when the adjustment is set to zero. Eye protection against high-speed particles, worn in conjunction with standard corrective glasses, can transmit the impact, posing risk to the user. Caution! If high-speed particle impact protection is required at extreme temperatures, the selected eye protection device should be marked with the letter T immediately after the letter identifying the impact symbol, i.e. FT, BT or AT. If the letter indicating the impact symbol is not directly in front of the letter T, then the eye protection can only be used to protect against high-speed particles at room temperature. Maintenance, storage and transport After fi nishing work, clean the helmet with a soft and damp cloth. Larger instances of soil should be removed with soapy water and dried with a cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents. Do not use solvents to clean the fi lter and the helmet. Do not immerse the welding fi lter in water. The product should be stored in supplied unit packaging in a dark, dry, ventilated and closed room. During storage, do not exceed the temperature range of -20
